Upstate New York plays a critical role in powering our state, with energy generation that benefits communities statewide. Nuclear energy facilities located in this region - including the FitzPatrick, Nine Mile Point, and Ginna plants - contribute to a stable and reliable electric grid, especially during periods of peak demand.
These facilities produce reliable, carbon-free electricity; support more than 24,000 good paying jobs; and generate hundreds of millions in annual economic impact across Upstate New York and beyond. They also play a key role in meeting New York's clean energy goals, producing 47% of all clean energy in the state.
